I was saddened and glad to hear of Jack Chick's passing. I've used his tracts for years. They really do get read. Glad because he has gone home to glory. Many people believe they are saved because of their faith, not realizing that even the faith they use to believe was a gift of God and didn't come naturally from within themselves. Eph 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:" We cannot hold up our faith to God as a good work to be rewarded with eternal life. It's ALL grace. We were foreordained. Because of that we cannot lose our salvation by future sins. God's will is the great glory of our salvation; why we can rest assured of eternal life. Great article Pete, but I always like to bring this out as well. Many believers stumble between pride in their faith and terror that their continuing sins will cost them their salvation. Can't happen folks. God is the Alpha and the Omega. Enter into His rest.
